『구비문학연구』 30년, 민담분석의 성과와 과제

This discussion, spanning the past 30 years since the establishment of the Korean Oral Literature Society in 1993, focuses on studies of folktales in the Journal of Korean Oral Literature and explores the achievements and issues in the analysis of folktales transferred orally, with the central question being, “What does it mean to analyze folktales in a truly folkloric manner?”
 Research on motifs in folktales can be broadly categorized into two types. The first aims to demonstrate that even when myths are transformed into folktaless, the attributes of mythic motifs remain intact and functional. The second focuses on openness, examining the profound polysemic meanings folktales generate based on the method of comparing motifs in various folktales to neighboring types. Studying how symbolic motifs are intricately connected to the story, and how they encapsulate and manifest meaning within folktales is a task that needs to be interpreted more profoundly within the realm of Korean oral literature.
 In the discussion of the achievements and challenges in analyzing the meaning of folktales through their story structures, this article examined the trajectory of research on the form of oral literature, which allows for ease of memory and reproduction while also permitting variations. This article also forecasts that the interpretive analysis of Korean folktales will become more systematic through structural analysis, such as the unit of story point that explores rich contextual interpretations of Korean folktales, the grammar of stories, the process of analysis of folktales centered on narrative issues, and expanded patterns of folktales.
 The chapter “Changes in Cognition and Emotion through Problem-Solving Methods in Folktales and the Creation of Contemporary Discourse” explains that important clues to solving the problems of modern life may be found in folktales regarding the essence of nature, the profound insights acquired by a remarkable person, or the wisdom of women. Through this, trends in the history of research on folktales that generate modern philosophical, social, and cultural discourse weremay also be examined. In studies of folktales with the theme of “conflicts in family relations,”’ the focus is on discussions that create alternative values by analyzing the “reverse side” to problems that arise when filial piety is the prevailing discourse, going beyond the dominant notions and common ideas. Literary therapy explores human narrative and seeks to identify the “problems” and “solutions” in human relationships and our lives that appear in folktales. Through literary therapy, research on folktales that can lead to emotional change will expand in the future.
 Finally, in modern society, with the advent of the AI era, it will be necessary to go beyond forexamining folklore materials based solely on the index of motifs. Instead, we should construct a comprehensive database that encompasses compound and neighboring types by utilizing the characteristics of oral literature, such as motifs and paragraphs, search for meanings, stacking, and variations. To achieve this, ongoing research on the categorization and systems of classification of folktales is essential.

Semantics of the Tsyrt-Obelisk of the Sacred Mihdau Reserve

The proposed article is devoted to the study of the semantics of tsyrts – vertical slabs dug into the ground-steles, of varying degrees of processing, or obelisks built of stone, which collectively date from the Late Middle Ages to the beginning of the XX century. Until recently, it was believed that all of them are funerary or memorial in nature, but recent studies have shown another purpose of these monuments. Part of the tsyrts-steles was erected to delimit the territory - both sacred spaces and farmlands. The conclusions made are confirmed by folklore materials and linguistics data. Of particular interest is a small group of early tsyrts-obelisks, the semantics of which has not yet been studied. Almost all of them are laid out of treated stone on lime mortar and covered with lime plaster or coating. They are located in cemeteries, near temples or in an open area. The analysis of these monuments allows us to conclude that their semantics are in the paradigm of the three-level Indo-Iranian worldview, characteristic of the Scythian-Alanian tradition. The examination of one of the most striking monuments of this type, the tsyrt-obelisk of the sacred reserve of Mikhdau (Ursdon village, Alagirsky district of the RNO-Alania), showed that in the hierotopia of this religious complex, this tsyrt symbolizes the heavenly gatekeeper, located on the border between the human and celestial spheres, on the way of worshippers to the temple. The reserve itself is marked with a three-stage rock, symbolizing the World Mountain.

The article deals with the issues of the modern piano repertoire of the outstanding composer Chu Wanhua. The author of the article dwells on the issues of combining traditions and innovations in his piano compositions. The folklore tradition occupies the most important place in his work. The author of the article says that the problem of the relationship between the composer and folklore is becoming more acute and relevant today. Also, as early as the 1960s, Chinese composers began to actively study and use modern writing techniques, such as atonality, twelve-tone technique, experimental avant-garde, etc. The rejection of the traditional foundations of the musical language, combined with at least some tangible elements of folklore material, made it possible for the listener to identify the musical content of the work. Despite the complex musical language and techniques, such works made it possible to associate them with one or another national tradition. The piano work of the Chinese contemporary composer Chu Wanhua in a special way reveals the synthesis of traditions and innovations in music.

Folk Song Collection in Csíkmadaras at the Turn of the 20-21st Century

"Csíkmadaras is in the southern part of the microregion called Felcsík. The latter has always been a preferred area for ethnomusicologists, beginning with Béla Bartók. After I started collecting folk songs in the area in 1993, I set out to make a monograph of vocal songs of Csíkmadaras village. Between 1999 and 2011 I spent 18 days on the field, recording more than 12 and a half hours of vocal folk music. The collection contains 441 distinct melodies, along with variants and those repeated several times, a total of 644 tunes. What surprised me during the processing of the material was the great number of songs from the old strata. Along with the new-style melodies they represent almost 2/5 of the total collection. In comparison, the relatively small number of less valuable songs was below previous expectations. From the result of the collection, it appears that, at the beginning of the XXIst century, in Csíkmadaras there is still very valuable folklore material. Keywords: folk songs, collections, Csíkmadaras, monograph, old strata, new style"

Wiesław, or a Slavic Magical Fairy Tale as Comic Book Material

The article will present the results of a literary analysis of the comic book Wiesław by Maciej Kisiel (3 parts, 2019–2022), which is based on Slavic fairy tales. The inspiration for the analysis of the comic was Jolanta Ługowska’s reflections on the folk magic fairy tale as material of fiction. Folk material functions as a potential source of literary plots and comic scripts from which the author can draw the idea of the plot or even individual motifs or characters to be freely contaminated and modernised. The aim of the reflections on the phenomenon of comic transposition of motifs of Slavic folk tales was to determine to what extent the principles of constructing the plot of the analysed comic correspond to the principles of constructing a folk tale (economy of means, expressive exposition of turning points, covering the perspective of the narrator and the protagonist); and what adaptation and transformation processes (threads, motifs, heroes, objects) serve to adapt folklore material to the new communication situation and recipient.

«Язык» леса в информационном пространстве кочевой культуры на примере тюрко-монгольских народов

Introduction. After Turko-Mongols inhabited forest landscapes of Siberia, positions of such primordial nomadic occupations as livestock breeding and hunting became somewhat equal.

Memorial Landscape of the Ural Town in the Material of Folklore Archive (Kaslee, 1970‑1980)

The article considers the possibility and limits of reconstructing the memorial landscape of the Ural town-factory based on the materials of student folklore practical studies in the late Soviet era. The author reveals the stable motifs of the legends connected with the history of the founding of the industrial settlement of Kaslee, as well as with the specifics of the ethnic interaction between Russian settlers and the local population. The article also defines the “places of memory” in folklore materials. The study shows how the scientific and methodological attitudes of folklorists and the methods of interaction between collectors and informants are reflected in the collection of field archival materials from a particular area.
 The memorial landscape reconstructed according to folklore data tells both about the past of Kaslee and the present, as the perspective of such a description of the past is determined by the present. Archival folklore materials are an example of a combination of practices of communicative and cultural memories. In this aspect, the place of “songs about the city” is also determined in the article. The authors believe that “empty cells” – lacunae of archival memory, about which the informants did not tell and/or the collectors did not ask, are significant elements of this memorative landscape. The stories related to the accident at the Mayak chemical plant in 1957 and the environmental agenda in general become such subjects of silence.
 The article will be useful to folklorists and anyone interested in the problems of memory in folklore materials, as an attempt to apply the methods of folklore and anthropology to the practice of memory studies.

Interpretation of Musical Folklore in the Work of Ethnoband Zgarda

The purpose of the research is to reveal the basic principles of music material selection and ways of transforming the authentic song tradition, its interpretation and representation for the modern audience in the work of the Ukrainian ethnic band Zgarda. Research methodology. The following methods were used in the research: source study (study of works on the interpretation of musical folklore in the works of contemporary ethno-pop, rock, and jazz formations); analytical (comprehension of the types, as well as the role and place of interpretation of authentic works and their stage and musical representation in the process of preserving and retransmitting the intangible cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people); method of theoretical generalization (for formulating conclusions). The scientific novelty of the research is to highlight the peculiarities of musical and folklore material’s interpretation in the work of the ethnic group Zgarda, which is manifested, in particular, in the contamination of several authentic works into one vocal and instrumental composition with possible authorial deviations in dynamics, tempo, melodic line, etc. Conclusions. The use of traditional music in the work of many musicians is highly relevant today. Traditional music is given a new life; it is modified and resonates with young people due to its new sound and form. Having analyzed the work of the Zgarda ethnic band on musical material, we can note that there is no clear plan for processing folk songs (and creating music in general) because it is a creative process that does not follow established rules. It is essential to understand the importance of the approach to processing folklore material, and how to mix authenticity with contemporary music in a dosed and environmentally friendly way because our goal is to emphasize the beauty of folk songs, not vice versa.

Traditional Healing Expectations in Light of Placebo and Performance Studies

This article examines what expectations lay people (those not considered folk healers themselves) had for pre-industrial Finnish-Karelian healing traditions, how these expectations were represented in archived folklore materials, and how they, in turn, affected the healing traditions. The study represents a cross-disciplinary analysis of the subject, with theoretical perspectives drawn from performance studies, cognitive science memory studies, and placebo studies. Via a two-step analysis, this article examines the different meanings given to traditional healing methods and suggests that these methods increased the placebo effect in several ways, most importantly by fulfilling the general expectations for healing performances. The article also proposes that the placebo effect affected the way that lay people considered efficacious healing performances.

PROVERBS AND SAYINGS IN THE WORKS OF ALIKHAN BUKEIKHAN: ANALYSIS IN THE ASPECT OF ETHNO -, SOCIOFOLCORISTICS

The study of the heritage of the Alash period within the framework of new scientific paradigms is one of the urgent problems in modern domestic social and humanitarian sciences. The searches conducted in the direction of interdisciplinary connections show the abundance of folklore material in the heritage of Alash. The intelligentsia of the nation rationally used folk wisdom in instilling the ideals of political struggle and enlightenment in getting rid of colonialism in the spirit of the awakening era in the minds of the general public. When the spiritual heritage was studied in the aspect of integrative folklore studies, it was noticed that the folk aesthetics was clearly expressed in the works of the Alash period. The article analyzes how A. Bukeikhan honored the national treasury, nurturing the centuries-old spiritual and cultural values of the Great Steppe.

Their harmonization in artistic and aesthetic content will be traced, starting from national values and ending with ideas about high human benefits. The professional skills of the Kazakh society in articles on current topics that raise important issues, qualifications in compliance with ethical requirements are determined in combination with the principles of ethnofolclor. The ethnofolcloristic aspect differentiates ideas that give a clear practical and theoretical focus on solving the problems of the liberation of the country and social inequality in colonial thought in the interests of the Kazakhs. Authenticity, concreteness, sharpness, intelligence, courage, depth in the articles are consistently analyzed with the skillful use of proverbs and sayings.

Вклад Наки Исанбета в изучение Золотой Орды

Research objectives: To systematize information about the contribution of the Tatar scholar and encyclopedist Naki Isanbet (1899–1992) to the study of the history and culture of the Golden Horde and the popularization of this knowledge among the Tatars.. Research materials: Folklore materials, scientific works, and literary works of Naki Isanbet served as the basis of the study. Cultural-historical, semiotic-culturological, comparative, and other research methods, chosen based on the nature of the analyzed text, were used. Novelty of the research: a comprehensive analysis of Naki Isanbet’s contribution to the study of the Golden Horde and the popularization of this information among the Tatars. Results of the research: The work proves that this scholar and encyclopedist began to seriously develop the theme of the Golden Horde in the late 1920s. Based on the analysis of archival materials, the chronicle of the work of Naki Isanbet on the creation of consolidated texts of the dastans “Idukai and Muradym” and “Idegey” is reconstructed. The scientific value of introductory scientific articles to these textual works and his comments is revealed. Information on the history of the creation of the tragedy “Idegey” by N. Isanbet and the history of its existence on the Tatar stage is systematized. The contribution of the folklorist to the study of the work of the Chichyans of the Golden Horde and the popularization of information about their activities in the comedy “Cirän çiçän belän Qaraçäç sılu” (“Red-haired mocker and his black-haired beauty”) is determined.

Isanbet aimed at popularizing information about the Golden Horde among a wide readership has been revealed.

Эволюция дискурсов о покорении Сибири в локальной исторической памяти

Research objectives: Systematization and factor analysis of evolving ideas about the conquest of Siberia in the local historical memory of the Perm region from the end of the 16th century to the present. Research materials: The research draws upon archival materials, materials from local historians, journalists, historians, teachers, and intellectuals, folklore materials, media materials from different eras, local history works, and local teaching aids from the Perm region. Novelty of the research: Based on the introduction of previously unpublished local history and personal materials, the study examines local historical memory about the annexation of Siberia, which has been perceived as an insignificant topic in historical science. The regional dimension of the “collective memory” of the “Conquest of Siberia” explored in this research can be applied to other regions significant for this process. Results of the research: Although the Perm region served as a “springboard” for the conquest of Siberia and is a symbolic border between the “Russian World” and the “Trans-Urals,” the research does not confirm the hypothesis about the system-forming significance of the myth of the “Siberian capture” for the construction of local identity. The study identifies several interdependent discourses in the local historical memory of the Perm region regarding the annexation of Siberia. The first discourse is the glorification of Yermak, initially influenced by the government’s struggle with the “Cossack freemen,” but by the beginning of the 20th century, Yermak was endowed with the features of a local folk hero, and his campaign was a common cause of local residents. The second discourse is the role of the Stroganovs, which was developed in the 1830s by F.A. Volegov, survived the Soviet ideologization, and experienced a slight surge in the 1990s, but is not dominant overall. The third discourse emerged in the late 19th century and is a representation of the conquest of Siberia in the works of the local intelligentsia. They note Moscow’s insignificant attention to the role of the Perm region in the conquest of Siberia, which can be considered a typical colonial discourse, but they themselves do not regard the “Siberian conquest” as a significant factor in regional history. In general, the discourses of the local historical memory of the Perm region about the conquest of Siberia shift the focus of attention from events to specific heroes, and the retrospective interpretation of their exploits is more of a “folk” rather than a statist character.

Izdzīvošanas spēks un dzīves vērtības Liepājas Universitātes folkloras arhīva dzīvesstāstos

The folklore materials of the Liepāja University record many life stories of various Latvian narrators. Some of them are more extensive and cover the people’s ability to survive during difficult periods of history. The purpose of the article is to systematize and analyze the main values depicted in the life stories available in the Liepāja folklore archive. These values helped people survive during the changing times of the 20th century and helped them overcome difficult life situations. The article explores stories of personal experiences which indicate an event experienced by the narrator, as well as life stories that talk about the narrator’s life in general. In addition to life stories, the article also analyzes the folklore materials included by the narrators and their included explanations. The study provided a deeper understanding of the narrators’ outlook on life and their value system. In order to locate the topic in the context of folkloristic theory, the author has used the guidelines developed by several recognized researchers in the studies of personal narratives. The life values depicted in the narrated stories recorded in the folklore materials are arranged according to their thematic lines. These are values related to human character and virtues, attitude to life, emotional balance, physical and mental health. The life stories and personal accounts indicate the main values discussed by narrators during the period. Among these are values nurtured in the family – like virtues of work, patience and perseverance, positive outlook to life and inner strength, values on interpersonal relationships – like optimism, gratitude and helpfulness, kindness, love and trust in nature and natural order. Along with these, values of joy, singing and celebrating are also mentioned – as they restore strength and create a balance between work and relaxation. Overall, it is clear that the values and virtues mentioned in the classical folklore sources have been very important in surviving the changing times of the 20th-century Latvian territory.
